Title: Plasma coating process
Inventor: PAQUET VOLKER
IPC: C23C16/458
Filed: 1989-09-05
Abstract: The coating of large-area substrates as illustrated in Fig. 1 (8) by means of a plasma induced chemical vapour deposition process is effected using a plurality of plasma electrodes (10), whose number and arrangement is adapted to the number and arrangement and also to the size and geometry of the substrates (8) to be coated, the individual plasma electrodes (10) being switched and controlled separately. The plasma may be generated by microwaves. The process is suitable for coating large area planar vitreous bodies with multi-layer optical coatings and employs a mixture of reaction gases to form a coating of a dielectric material. The separate plasmas provide for the simultaneous of the entire area to be coated if one or more dielectric substrates and the plasma columns generated by the individual plasma electrodes overlap each other. The plasma electrodes are also controlled in such a way that the coating deposited on the substrate has structurally predetermined coating properties at each site of the substrate. Coatings such as SiO2, B2O3, GeO2, P2O5, TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2, SnO2, ZnO, Al2O3 and SiOxNy may be deposited. A preferred substrate is quartz glass.

Patent GB-2249700-A (GB)
Title: A multidimensional coding scheme
Inventor: CALDERBANK ARTHUR ROBERT
IPC: H03M13/25
Filed: 1991-09-24
Abstract: In a system where a signal constellation is used for data communications, 8-dimensional signal points in the signal constellation are selected to represent incoming FIG. 2 data. The signal points, thus selected, are transmitted through a channel. The 8-dimensional signal points are made up of groups of four 2-dimensional signal points, which are selected from four constituent 2-dimensional signal constellations. The constituent constellations are each divided into a plurality of regions ( OMEGA 1- OMEGA 3), each region including an equal number of signal points. A coding scheme is employed to ensure that signal points within any one region are selected equiprobably, and the probability of selecting any signal point in one region is different from that in another region. This technique provides a high shape gain of the signal constellation, a low peak-to-average power ratio (PAR), and efficient addressing of signal points. <IMAGE>

IPC: F02M45/06
Filed: 1992-11-11
Abstract: A fuel-injection pump for delivering pre and main injection quantities has in a cylinder lining (2) fitted in a housing (1), a reciprocable pump piston (4) which encloses a working chamber (5), the piston (4) having on its peripheral surface a control recess in the form of a slanting groove (19) with control edges (21, 22), the recess being connected to the working chamber (5) by a channel (39). A control sleeve (13) is axially displaceable on the piston (4), and has a cut-off bore (41) (spill port) passing therethrough. Pockets (25, 26, 27) are machined in the periphery of the piston (4) for the purpose of interrupting the high-pressure delivery to provide pre and main injected fuel quantities. These pockets co-operate with a pocket (42) machined in the control sleeve (13) and with a control edge (45) defined by the lower front edge of the control sleeve (13). The period between pre and main injection occurs when the sleeve pocket (42) overlaps both piston pockets (25, 26). <IMAGE>

Title: Supplying catalyst to a reactor
Inventor: MIURA YASUHIRO
IPC: B01J8/00
Filed: 1993-02-15
Abstract: A continuous supply of catalyst is passed from hopper 10 to reactor 30 eg. to manufacture a polyolefin of uniform quality. Hopper 10 has an inlet port at the top and a catalyst supply port 10a at the bottom to supply a catalyst by free fall. A catalyst supply means 20 comprises disc 22 with holes able to align with delivery tube 23 as the disc is rotated by motor 21. An inert gas, e.g. nitrogen, is supplied under pressure by tube 70 and carries the aliquots of catalyst metered by disc 22 down to ejector 50 where it is mixed with reagent gas passing along line 40 to the reactor. The ejector 50 produces a reduction in the pressure of the reagent gas which draws the catalyst in and prevents the reagent passing back up the catalyst supply. <IMAGE>

IPC: G07B15/06
Filed: 1994-06-01
Abstract: Apparatus (2) for pricing road usage by vehicles (4, 6), which apparatus comprises a plurality of vehicle processor devices (8) which are for use one in each vehicle and which are such that they are programable with data which identifies the vehicle, transmitter means (10) for sending data to the vehicle processor devices (8), and a plurality of interrogator devices (12, 18, 26) which are for use in travel zones and which are for interrogating the vehicle processor devices (8) in vehicles which are in the travel zones.
